In the footsteps of Saint Bernadette She was just an uneducated young country girl In a small village in another part of the big world Her health was bad but still she kept on going She hid in a grotto to be protected from a storm In the grotto was a beautiful light shining bright A pretty lady dressed in blue and white appeared A rose bush at the lady's feet and she carried a rosary Bernadette took out her rosary and knelt in awe of her The lady spoke to her and prayed with her that day The lady formed the sign of the cross making the girl cry Soon a Golden cloud came and the pretty lady went away Bernadette went home and told the story about the lady No one would believe her story but more visions came Soon many would follow to the grotto to see the miracles The lady told her to dig in the dirt and drink of the water Soon the water became a spring and cured many illnesses Soon thousands would come to see this glorious place It took a little girl to show faith without a hint of a doubt The lady wanted a chapel build on this holy ground Bernadette had a responsibility to see that it was done Some people apposed at first but then it came to pass Many followed in Bernadette's footsteps out of faith Those tiny little feet walking showed so many the way All of her life she walked in the light of faith and love She thought Mary appeared to her because she wasn't smart Mary found a child of God with a pure and blessed heart YellowRose 28 lines |
